I love using CRT shaders on a game by game basis. As others commented, if it’s more detailed artwork, I’ll flip it on. Other times I don’t like how it looks with some classic games.
The only mod I do want is a way to replicate, on a modern monitor, the feeling of turning it off and putting your arm against the screen to get that sweet sweet static discharge that only CRTs could give you.
Edit: Removed my joke at the end of my original comment.
Hold on just a darn tootin’ minute here. That there’s robot speak, ain’t it? We don’t take too kindly to robots, fella. Are you a robot, or ain’t you? We’ll defederate you mercifully.
Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.
I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.
Good point. Perhaps we also put up a cautionary sign that reads, “Warning: Crushed glass below. Do not dig. No corpses buried at this site.”
You’re welcome, Chocoboo.
Okay that was a bad joke but I tried.

“And you’re fake news. I’m the only one that’s coherent. I cohear to all the things the radical left is trying to take away from us. Guns? Immigrants? They’re all - and listen, this is why we must the border. Well keep the immigrants out, because they’re letting the asylums and the kennels pour in, and it’s dangerous and reckless what they do to us. It’s sad, really it is. Almost tragic. Such a shame, what Kowala is doing to the American people. And she cohered the Biden agenda right? I fixed this country and our immigration problem. I concepted plans with Putin - great man, by the way, a strong man. And that’s what the America’s needs is a strong man. Are you paying attention? Look what they did to us, all these world leaders are laughing at us - laughing because we cohered how weak we are. We need strong leaders, leaders that will close down the borders and stop with the EVs, which are heavy by the way, and for to radical left, it doesn’t make me feel good. Why? Why not, I say. And no one’s talking about it but me. I’ve been told by my uncle, who works for MIT in their training camps, that I have big smarts. Almost coherent, really. And that’s the truth. But Biden- I mean Harold? She doesn’t know the first thing about running a country. She used to be a country, did you know that? There’s so many things they don’t tell you. And that’s for me, only because national secrets and why we’ll make this country prosper because we’re gonna be in World War 3, because these other countries with the nukes, they’re laughing at us. I’ve been to Russia. I’ve been to that one country that’s on the news, and I know Kim Jong Bill, he and I are great friends. I’ve made deals with the Taliban. And I talked to Abdul - who’s the one doing the murders by the way - and I warned him and said “don’t you do that. Don’t you do anymore of the killing or you’re gonna have problems.” And he says, “Mr. Trump, why do you send me a picture of my house?” And I said, “that’s for you to figure out Abdul.” I’ve made many deals, sometimes we didn’t deal with immigration, but my administration made it bigger and better than ever. Greatest economy this country’s ever seen, and we’re heading down the darkest path now. The worst immigration, the worst economy, the worst presidents in history - ever. We need respect, and only I can make that happen. The left? They want to eat your babies - shocking, isn’t it? It’s sad really, truly it is.”
“You’re fake news. I got five stars. Can’t read can you? Such a shame, sad, tragic - really it is - that the radical left is not only unsmart, but they take the things that I say out of contest. Why do they do this? Because they’re eating all the people that scored less than 3 stars. And trust me, no one knows more about this stuff than I do. Camille? Worst VP ever in the history of this country, and George Biden? Why’d they force him out? Do you think it’s because of the number of stars he got on his test? Maybe they should go back to wearing a star on their shirt, you know, supposing we did that? Wouldn’t it be great? If you can see the number of stars on your shirt, and that would tell people how big brain you are? Sounds interesting. The Republican Party will look into this, I think.”
